Book Description
Excerpt from Studies of the Greek Poets, Vol. 2 of 2 Two conditions, both of which the Greeks enjoyed in full per fection at the moment of their first dramatic energy, seem to be requisite for the production of a great and thoroughly national drama. These are, first, an era of intense activity or a period succeeding immediately to one of excitement, by which the na tion has been nobly agitated; secondly, a public worthy of the damatist 'spurring him on by its enthusiasm and intelligence to the creation of high works of art. A glance at the history of the drama in modern times will prove how necessary these con ditions are. It was the gigantic effort which we English people made in our struggle with Rome and Spain, it was the rousing of our keenest thought and profoundest emotion by the Reforma tion, which prepared us for the Elizabethan drama, by far the greatest, next to the Greek, in literature. The nation lived in ao tion, and delighted to see great actions imitated. Races in repose or servitude, like the Hebrews under the Roman empire, may, in their state of spiritual exaltation and by effort of pondering on the mysteries cf God and man, give birth to new theosophies; but it requires a free and active race, in Which young and turbulent blood is flowing, to produce a drama. In England, again, at that time, there was a great public. All classes crowded to the thea tres. London, in whose streets and squares martyrs had been burned, on whose quays the pioneers of the Atlantic and Pacific, after disputing the Indies with Spain, lounged and enjoyed their leisure, supplied an eager audience, delighting in the dreams of poets which recalled to mind the realities of their own lives, ap preciating the passion of tragedy, enjoying the mirth of comic in eident. _the men who listened to Othello had both done and suf fered largely; their own experience was mirrored in the scenes of blood and struggle set before them. These two things, therefore - the awakening of the whole English nation to activity, and the presence of a free and haughty audience - made our drama great.

Book Description
In a time of acute crisis when our societies face a complex series of challenges (race, gender, inclusivity, changing pedagogical needs and a global pandemic) we urgently need to re-access the nature of our engagement with the Classical World. This edited collection argues that we need to discover new ways to draw on our discipline and the material it studies to engage in meaningful ways with these new academic and societal challenges. The chapters included in the collection interrogate the very processes of reception and continue the work of destabilising the concept of a pure source text or point of origin. Our aim is to break through the boundaries that still divide our ancient texts and material culture from their reception, and interpretive communities. Our contributors engage with these questions theoretically and/or through the close examination of cultural artefacts. They problematise the concept of a Western, elitist canon and actively push the geographical boundaries of reception as both a local and a global phenomenon. Individually and cumulatively, they actively engage with the question of how to marshal the classical past in our efforts to respond to the challenges of our mutable contemporary world.
